Skill Invocation API, v0

The Skill Invocation API invokes the AWS Lambda or third-party HTTPS endpoint for a specified skill. A successful response will contain information related to what endpoint was called, and the payload sent to and received from the endpoint. In cases where a request to this API results in an error, the response will contain a description of the problem. In cases where invoking the skill endpoint specifically fails, the response will contain a status attribute indicating that a failure occurred as well as details about what was sent to the endpoint.

You can use this API to invoke those skills for which you are the developer. The skill being invoked must be enabled on your account and must be in the development stage. A call to the skill endpoint will time out after 10 seconds.

The Skill Invocation API must be used only for skill testing purposes.
